) pledged on Wednesday to conclude an internal probe into alleged money laundering at the Swedish lender by early next year, and said it was unaware of any breaches of U.S. sanctions after a broadcaster alleged such a lapse.
“If there has been unethical behavior ... we should of course get the bottom of it,” Swedbank CEO Jens Henriksson said in a statement. Henriksson make the statement after Sweden’s public service broadcaster reported on Wednesday, in a program aired on its website, that Swedbank may have violated U.S. sanctions against Russia, citing an unidentified Wall Street source.
In its report, SVT alleged Swedbank transferred more than 1 million euros from Russian arms firm Kalashnikov Group to a U.S. subsidiary through the business network of a Russian oligarch who is a shareholder in Kalashnikov.
